Someone below said the boulder was 3.4 tons. Its 340 tons. And it is the most amazing sculpture I've seen in my life. The journey, the design and the beauty and power of the whole experience moves you

Can't complain about a free museum exhibit . I will admit the epic title of this piece makes it seem much more exciting than it may end up being, but still worth checking out. No Admission to get in.

This is stupid. Human beings 1000s of years ago moved rocks this big without modern machinery and built pyramids and temples . Some guy took this rock made by nature and takes credit for it as "art ".

T????????????⛄️

Take a picture of you in front of it with your hands up. It looks like you're holding it up!! Classic gag. So original. People will think you're crazy strong til you fill them in on the joke. Classic!

We followed the Mass' travels to LACMA- excited by art concept/physics. Kids(14,12,10,6) were deflated when we saw it. "I totally see the ledge & It is sitting on a shelf". I saw "Holocaust memorial".

Marvel, behold, and pray for just a brief moment the San Andreas Fault doesn't awaken and bring wrath down on you.

As others said, it's a big rock . Go in afternoon when the shadows are long and it's otherworldly. You can access the rock for free through the park .

Take hilarious and original Facebook photo holding up that giant rock. Then Instagram it. Then Twitpic it. Then Friendster Testimonial it.

Justin Ordoveza

Kooky but interesting nonetheless. Go early in the day to avoid the crowds.

IBRAHIM ALHATI

You can pretend you are lifting the rock!

Was present a few years ago when the "mass" arrived. It is worth experiencing!

340 tons bolted and sitting over a walkway. Walk under twice because where else do you get to do that?!

Kelly Blick

Super scary but such a great photo opp!

The museum is good but you can see plenty around the park for free. If you’re lucky you might be able to tag along with one of the tours. They’re very informative - Kurtis Sherry
